You can't rely on that.  You should never try to interpret the contents of
an ITEMIDLIST in any way.  The whole point of an ITEMIDLIST is that its
contents are object-specific, and ITEMIDLIST is specifically designed in
such a way that the contents only have any meaning to the object that
creates them, and that no other object has to have any knowledge of the
contents in order to identify another object.  The contents of an ITEMIDLIST
can change at any time, so you should always go through "official channels"
to query an object for its information.
